A novel method of unmanned surface vehicle autonomous cruise
Industrial Robot: An International Journal, 2016Purpose – This paper aims to propose a new method for combining global path planning with local path planning, to provide an efficient solution for unmanned surface vehicle (USV) path planning despite the changeable environment. Path planning is the key issue of USV navigation.

Autonomous Surface Vehicle Docking Manoeuvre with Visual Information
Proceedings 2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2007This work presents a hybrid coordinated manoeuvre for docking an autonomous surface vehicle with an autonomous underwater vehicle. The control manoeuvre uses visual information to estimate the AUV relative position and attitude in relation to the ASV and steers the ASV in order to dock with the AUV. The AUV is assumed to be at surface with only a small

Planning for Autonomous Operation of Unmanned Surface Vehicles
2016The growing variety and complexity of marine research and application oriented tasks requires unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to operate fully autonomously over long time horizons even in environments with significant civilian traffic. The autonomous operations of the USV over long time horizons requires a path planner to compute paths over long ...

SWORDFISH: an Autonomous Surface Vehicle for Network Centric Operations
OCEANS 2007 - Europe, 2007The design and development of the swordfish autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) system is discussed. Swordfish is an ocean capable 4.5 m long catamaran designed for network centric operations (with ocean and air going vehicles and human operators). In the basic configuration, Swordfish is both a survey vehicle and a communications node with gateways for ...

Vision-based docking using an autonomous surface vehicle
2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2008This paper describes the development of a novel vision-based Autonomous Surface Vehicle with the purpose of performing coordinated docking manoeuvres with a target, such as an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, at the water's surface. The system architecture integrates two small processor units; the first performs vehicle control and implements a virtual ...

Neural anti-collision system for Autonomous Surface Vehicle
Neurocomputing, 2015Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASV) are robots destined for the operation at water basins like lakes, canals, harbors and even open sea. They are used for different purposes, e.g. for patrol tasks, as scouts, or as a support for Navy ships. One of the main tasks of ASV is to move along a fixed path to a destination point.
